I played baseball through junior high. Can I be legendary?

Is Ken Caminiti deceased? If so this is news to me.
When are they going to make cuts of Puckett? I know its only been 3 years and there are still bunches of stickers probably, but I'd still like to add one to my collection

I believe that Caminiti died from complications that might have arisen from his steriod use.

I thought it had to do with his other drug addictions.

By winning an MVP, going to 3 All-Star games and winning 3 gold gloves, he's more legendary than many cuts that have been in SP Legendary Cuts over the years.

Both are somewhat correct. The steroids caused artery and heart issues and then the cocaine put his heart into overdrive. Faulty heart + cocaine = bad.

Those two are not deceased.

yes, he died of a drug overdose I do believe. Their decision to create a Caminiti card isnt so bad as it is to include it into LEGENDARY Cuts. There are some Cammy collectors out there, but I agree, he is no more legendary than Donnie Moore who committed Suicide...

Are you really comparing a mediocre pitcher to a former MVP? He is likely in this set exclusively because of his MVP. That doesn't mean he was a good person or anything, just that he won an MVP award.

Im not seeing too much of a problem with him being included into this set. Plus, I dont think he has any certified autos in any product. But i could be wrong.

He has some autographs, not tons, but probably around 3000 total.

LOL, I wasnt comparing anyone to anything, I was being sarcastic. My point is, that as a consumer, a product like Legendary Cuts should never include Ken Caminiti as a CUT AUTO, ever. What makes it even worse, is that he has at least 2 that I can think of, on the card AUTOs from 96 Leaf Signature and 97 Donruss Signature both with print runs of probably 1500+ and both can be had for under $30 if memory serves me correctly.
That was more of my point....

I like the idea personally, (drug use aside) Caminiti was a pretty solid individual on the field & off and personally I was upset when he left the Astros year's back! I would rather have a cut auto of him then MANY of whom are out there.
